I fell in love with this skirt when I first saw it. This is from their “Trend” collection which is a bit pricer and higher quality. Only select H & M stores carry this so please make sure to call and ask first. It runs extra tiny which is fantastic for petites! You may need to size up from your regular H & M sizes.

At first I thought it was a tweed skirt and then looked on H & M’s website and the matching jacket said boucle yarn. In case you are interested in the differences between boucle vs. tweed (source):
Boucle is a knit or woven fabric with small curls or loops that create a nubby surface. The fabric has a looped, knotted surface and is often used in sweater looks, vests and coats. Tweed is a medium to heavy weight, fluffy, woolen, twill weave fabric containing colored slubbed yarns. Common end-uses include coats and suits.

I wish there would have been a size 2 in the matching jacket for me to try on but it was already gone:( The quality is really nice and thick and love the cute little side slit. The color is called red melange and has gray mixed into the fabric, super pretty. I have a feeling this skirt will be loved and worn frequently. It’s very different than all my other skirts I have now.
Anyone else have this skirt?
That's a really nice skirt, I don't venture into H&M that much but the color is pretty and the whole thing looks really high quality – please post if you get the matching jacket!
There's tons of the matching jacket in the store by me, but I'm not a fan of how it actually looks with the skirt – it's an overload of the "boucle" (thanks for the definition, btw)! They would work well as separates though!
I love how you styled the skirt – the mustard purse really provides a nice color contrast.
I love the color and cut of that skirt! Calling in today to see if my local H&M has it 🙂
I have no idea what the difference is between boucle & tween and I don't care either. This skirt is simply beautiful and that is all that matters. You styled it so well. There isn't anything here that I wouldn't wear on any day of the week. LOVELY!

Thats a nice skirt!
Aah love the whole ensemble! Great looking skirt!
I have a matching skirt & jacket set from H&M too! The posts should be up by next week. hehe Love them. : ) You look great in that burgundy colour.
Classic loveliness by you here. Ever the fashionable goddess yet again. This skirt is very lovely to compliment the rest of your outfit. And while the skirt is lovely, I also love this blouse. I'm a sucker for ruffles, and this ruffled blouse is a thing of beauty. You've proven once again to be one of the most beautiful women in the world, let alone in blogging and let alone among petites. Great post, Annie!

i like your tights and coat! it has an elegant feel
The skirt is adorable…love it on you Annie 🙂 Love the clutch you paired with it as well
this outfit looks great on you!! i love boucle for the fall/winter and the color is gorgeous. and great python F21 clutch!
cute & little
My local store doesn't carry "Trend" line so I didn't see this skirt in store. I do like the color though (perfect for Fall). I agree with JJ, a whole set probably is a bit too much. I would wearing them separately. Great find!
I love the color coordination here! Red with cream always looks so chic. 🙂 Great find from H&M!

Lovely, Annie! The skirt looks so cute on you! The measurement looks scary tiny! I would need a sz 6. hehe. That jcrew coat looks so nice on you. I still can't get over how stupid it looked on me when I tried it on. 🙂
I liked the familiar-yet-unusual colours of this outfit a lot. And I see you're wearing H&M tights. I've been meaning to stock up on some new tights for the fall season – would you recommend these?
I tried this skirt on in a size 2 and it comes way closer to my knees than it does on you? Did you have it altered or shortened? I am also 5 feet tall, so I don't know what is going on. Maybe it is sittig lower on my hips…? It fits you like a glove. I wish I could pull it off…so, so pretty.
All the components in this ensemble look so lovely on you! Is it getting chilly there? I rarely see you in tights 🙂
Also, thanks for the boucle vs. tweed comparison, I get so confused on that!
Thanks Katherine! I prob won't get the matching jacket but if I do- def will post 🙂
Thanks JJ! I agree it def would be overload with both pieces and the jacket is not a classic cut so prob will go out of style hence the "TREND" line…LOL
I hope you find it Anita! 🙂
Even after looking up the definition- I still don't get it…LOL Thanks so much Jordan!!
Thank you : )
Thanks Lei! 🙂
Oooo which one did you get Jessy? I can't wait to see it!
Thanks Laura- I appreciate it! 🙂
Good thing I bought a back up pair last year..LOL
Thanks Tara! 🙂
Thanks Kileen! 🙂
Oh yeah for sure it would be too much all together. I doubt I would get the jacket since it's a bit funky for me:)
Thanks so much! Not a big 'red' fan but this I can live with 🙂
Thanks Vicky! The skirt def runs tiny and after a full meal- I probably won't be able to breathe..LOL
Love my J.Crew coat- remember the fiasco and what I put you thru? I don't know how it could have looked stupid on you….
These tights are from last season and I bought back up pairs because I loved them THAT much! Not sure if they are still avail this year but I love them- made in Italy- and way better than nylons 🙂
Hi Amanda! Really? No alterations- straight off the rack! I have it sitting right where my bellybutton is- maybe a scunch higher but it's a mini on me…and I'm the same height. Strange huh?
Thanks SPG! It is FINALLY chilly – 48 degrees in CA is like below 0 elsewhere…LOL You'll be seeing me in tights all thru winter….:D
I still am confused about the boucle vs. tweed definitions….even after looking it up…hehehe
Great outfit – love the yellow clutch!
Awe thank you! : )
Lovley skirt! Hope I can find it in Sweden too.
This outfit is just gorgeous!! LOVE the pleats in the top! And the skirt is such a pretty color. I was looking at your pics thinking "Man I wish there was a closer H&M! The maroon-ish color of the skirt would be perfect for me since my school's colors are maroon and gold 😉
